In this apparently autobiographical
exhibition in several levels -the most
intimate self, the social self, the historical self, the self of origin, the artist's self, and the identity that is the sum of all of the above- Boris Viskin investigates the possibility of opposites coexisting in realms that bring together time and space, history, and the places of collectivity. We witness here what appears as an attempt of exploring areas of conscience, certain images that have remained, and also certain influences. The temples of Israel, Mexico and Italy that appear in "Yo" are not only this artist«s places, but also the places of that abstraction known as the "others": inhabitants of different times and spaces discovered through an almost archaeological procedure. The use of the postcards, the actual epitome of the image, is a way of discovering the most intimate and frail self of the artist for the present paintings. Frail, because of the conscience that artistic identity is the chaotic collision of the crowd of identities that underlie the history of art. Thus the fact that Viskin«s reflection is centered not in his biography, but in the postcards that conform it, as in the tripthyc titled "Rquiem", in which the three rectangular canvases are loaded with images that the artist has underpinned with some very vigorous yet subtle traces: flowers painted by artists such as Van Gogh in the left canvas, the visual story of the construction of the Empire State in the center, and a gallery of paintings of saints, women, kings and even christs in the far right canvas. This body of work synthesizes two of the main themes of the show: frailty: (flower) and the incessant desire of construction (Empire State) that characterize humanity. Magali Tercero |
